Our ratings (out of 10)
1 to 10, compared with the whole market. Each says what it's based on. How we score
Weight
From maker's figures 4/10How much it adds to your pack. 4: A bit below average.
184 g (Decathlon, stove only; the carry box is another 104 g) sits in the 180-299 g band.
Packed size
From maker's figures 4/10How much room it takes in your rucksack. 4: A bit below average.
Decathlon gives the carry box as 10.2 x 10.2 x 9 cm: 10.2 x 10.2 x 9 = 936 cm3, about 0.94 L, in the 0.6-1.59 L band. The stove on its own is listed as 12 cm across and 8.5 cm high, about the same volume.
Boil speed (still air)
From maker's figures 6/10How fast the maker says it boils 1 litre in still air. Wind slows every stove: see Wind performance. 6: A bit better than average.
Decathlon says 3 min 50 s on its feature list and 3 min 48 s in its heating-time test text; the feature list looks like the same result rounded. The slower figure, 230 s for 1 litre, is used (the method takes the slowest), in the 230-299 s band; 228 s would be band 4. Decathlon tested with a Trek 500 stainless steel pan and does not state the wind.
Wind performance
Estimate from maker's specs: windshield in the box 3/10How well it keeps boiling in a breeze, as sold, without an extra windshield. 3: Below average. Fine for some trips, not others.
Estimate from maker's specs
In short
Good for
- Car-based or short trips where weight and pack size matter less
- Walkers who want four wide pot supports for a normal-sized pan
Strengths
- Decathlon quotes 3 min 50 s for 1 litre with 2,200 W output
- Four-legged pan support suits all pots, according to Decathlon
Weaknesses
- Heavy for a backpacking stove at 184 g, plus a 104 g carry box
- Bulky: the box is 10.2 x 10.2 x 9 cm, about 0.94 L
- Decathlon recommends a windshield, and no independent review has tested it in wind
- No regulator, so not for winter use (not rated for -10 °C)
- Decathlon says it does not fit Coleman cartridges
- Decathlon lists 158 g of gas an hour, so a 230 g cartridge lasts about 1 h 27 min
